I'm sure this has been asked before, but can someone recommend a brow powder that looks natural and stays on?  I don't want something that has wax in it, or a gel.  They dry out so quickly.  TIA!

ETA:  Any drugstore powders too, but it can be something more expensive if it works.

It is not a bPowder, but it is the absolute best Brow Product I have ever used, and it is Anastasia's Dipbrow, it is a gel consistency but thicker than a gel, but not too thick, and I have had my pot for 6 months now and product has not dried out. It lasts all day and I mean through everything, I love it. There is a learning curve because if you put too much on you end up looking like Groucho Marx, but once you get the hang of it, it's great! I first read about it on this board and there were so many raves, I just had to try it and I am very glad I did!Anastasia also makes Brow Powder if you prefer that, I have not tried her powder formula though!

I've used the Joan Rivers brow powder and another one which was a store brand from a Meijer supermarket.  Honestly, they both performed pretty equal to one another, but there was a big difference in price.  I've moved on from the powder though.  I'm loving Maybelline's Brow Drama these days.

I'm taking notes!  I just want to add that my brows are very sparse, and using a pencil is making them look drawn on.  I thought a powder may give a more natural look.

Jean, what is the brow drama like?

I like Brow Tech Trio by Smashbox. Each trio has two colored powders  and one wax. The wax is separate so you can ignore it or use it. I never had a problem with the wax getting too hard in mine. You can use the lighter shade or darker shade seasonally or you can mix them. I have red hair and they make an Auburn trio, which I love.

@Himi lover  It's in a tube with a brush, like mascara, only the brush has a ball tip.  It comes in four colors plus clear.  First you glide it over the brow against the direction of growth and the one more time going with the direction of growth.  It's not clumpy or too wet.  It just makes all the hairs match in color and makes them look neat.  Everything washes off easily.  Benefit makes a similar product, but the Brow Drama is more budget friendly.  It's only like $8.00 and common drugstore brands often go on sale - Buy One, Get One 50% Off.

I've used Shisedo brow powder compact for years... It has two colors in it, one dark and a lighter shade. The compact itself comes in 3 color palette choices.  This stuff literally last "years"!! With daily use. It comes with a decent applicator brush but I like a long handle so use Smashbox's brow brush. It's available over at Sephora, but only on-line.

I, too, recently tried Maybelline's Brow Drama and really like it.  I think it gives the most natural brow look, unlike brow pencils, powders or wax applications.   Some drug stores allow you to take back cosmetics for a full refund, if you don't like them.

I have a couple that I switch up alot. Anastasia Brow in the two color compact.  IT Cosmetics, I have 3 different types and I love them all. Brow Drama is my Drugstore pick. I do find it harder to use as it is not as precise. I like a defines brow, I use Brow Drama on casual less make-up days.
